Wire gauge help

Recommended Posts

I'm going to start replacing some of the wiring in my 46 Chrysler Windsor 4 door. I have a service manual which has the wiring diagram for a C38 and I also have a copy of my wiring in color. I cannot find any info on what gauge wire to use,. Does anyone have the correct size wire to use? 

I know you shouldn't go smaller but is it ok to go larger?

I'm not going the harness route, just want to do a little at a time starting with the headlights, turn signals and wiring to the trans relay.

Yes for some reason the 46-48 plymouth wiring diagram didn't show gauge either. I used the 49 chart as a reference. I did also go a little larger on some of the wires. All the lighting that used 16 was upgraded to 14 for my car. Some of that was because its better and it also reduced the supply list.
